simple fm test generator
The need occasionally arises for an FM test generator for the
repair or alignment of VHF FM tuners or re- ceivers. However,
unless the constructor is something of an H.F. fanatic the cost of
a sophisticated commercial generator is not justified in view of
its limited ap- plications. The simple generators described in
this article will enable a wide range of tests to be carried out on
both the front end and the i.f. strip, at relatively little cost. In
both the circuits described the r.f. oscillator is an astable
multivibrator with a 1 0. 7 MHz ceramic filter in the coupling to
determine the frequency of oscillation. Frequency modulation is
carried out with a varicap diode, and due to the high harmonic
content of the output a useful signal is available in the VHF band
as well as at the 10.7 MHz fundamental. torola CMOS 2-of-8 Tone
